Put the scope mounted the scope and all seems okay, except my sight picture moves around when I move my head.  Reticule not moving, but when I move my head, the target moves accordingly.  At 100 yds, this amount of movement would be about 12" in diameter.
 
I don't mention anything about parallax adjustment, as this scope has none, only adjusts for 1-4 power, windage and elevation, and eyepiece lens.
 
Please someone tell me how to make my new Nikon Monarch scope usable.  Don't want to start leaving my "reviews" all over the Internet, then selling it on EBay with the description above.  bookburn

Dale is correct, if you move your head your sight picture will also move.
